The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hi Reva,

Thanks for your message. The planned demonstrations in Tahrir were a
nonstarter because of overwhelming presence of police backed by
government-hired thugs. The strike planned in Mahalla el Kobra factories
did not go as planned on the morning of the 6th because of plainclothes
police occupation of the factory. But later in the day these turned
into some fairly serious and still ongoing street clashes in Mahalla el
Kobra. There is little media coverage of this because the government has
closed off roads, from one report I heard. There are ongoing updates with
several blogs that have personal links with the labor/ protest movement
see here:http://arabist.net/arabawy/ (english) and here:

hi Will,
How's it going? well, as expected, the security apparatus did a pretty
effective job in suppressing the April 6 strike. Just wanted to check in
with you to see if you had anything interesting to report.
